How to browse dating websites without registering

Paul EllisUpdated July 20, 2017

You would be wrong to assume that you cannot access a dating website without holding a full membership. In 2009, "Online Dating Newsletter" estimated that more than 20 million people a month visited online dating services. The majority of dating sites charge to open an account, although a few are free of charge. As all dating services allow prospective customers to view their current active users without registering, you have the perfect "window shopping" opportunity. The ability to see the man or woman of your dreams is just a click away without spending a single cent.

Open up a page in your chosen Internet browser and type "Online Dating" into any search engine.

Choose one from the several options available, for example, Match, Eharmony, Match Affinity, Zoosk, Plenty of Fish and Dating Direct, and advance to the home page.

Enter your search requirements; for example, gender and age range.

Browse through the results your search produced. Note: Although you can look at a user's profile on the majority of websites for free, you will not be able to send a message unless you register with that particular service.

Return to your search results and try another site if you decide that their service is not for you.
